In submitting our catalogue for your 
consideration, we trust it will aid you in 
making selection of what you may wish, 
either single Bell, Peal or Chime, and 
provide you the necessary information. 
The Bell business is not as generally under- 
stood as other trades, and questions will 
arise outside of the ordinary ones, such 
as weights, tones, mountings, means of 
transportation, and manner of hoisting into 
the tower, etc., etc. ; therefore we trust 
you will not hesitate to ask for any information you may desire, 
assuring you no pains will be spared on our part to answer intelli- 
gently and promptly. 

The mere mention of the McShane Bell is at once a guar- 
antee of a Standard Bell in the fullest sense of the word. They 
have been recognized from the first as equal to the best ever 
produced, and this is the result of careful study and strict atten- 
tion to musical measurements and accurate formulae, coupled 
with experience and trial, extending over a period of nearly half 
a century. 

Their unequalled success in this country fully attests their 
excellence in everything that goes to make up a thoroughly 
good Bell. The material of which they are composed is New 
Ingot Copper and Imported Block Tin, carefully proportioned 



r^ 



and as carefully melted, and we will agree to forfeit the price of 
any Bell we sell, if an authentic analysis shall disclose that it is 
composed of anything else but the best Copper and Tin. 

We point with no little pride to the fact that we have made 
during our existence of nearly fifty years 28,000 single Bells, 400 
Peals, 100 Chimes, in all over 30,000 Bells. 

The question next in importance to the Bell is that of the 
Mountings, see description, and illustrations on various pages 
of this catalogue. 

It will be seen therefrom that our mountings, when com- 
pared with those of other manufacture, are far superior in every 
respect. The Iron work is all cast in our own foundry, the 
mixture being of the best quality, calculated for the special 
work it has to do, and is of strong and substantial style, and so 
adapted as to secure the best possible results. The wood work 
is of first-class selected timber, and so joined as to produce the 
strongest kind of a frame in every instance, according to the 
necessities of the case. The combination of strength, utility, 
durability, proper equilibrium, ease in ringing, and neatness of 
design throughout is a prominent feature, and helps not a little 
to produce the satisfactory results common to our Bells. We 
refer with pleasure and satisfaction to every Bell we have made 
and sold. An equally efficient indication of the satisfaction our 
Bells are giving is the large demand for them, which is steadily 
growing larger year after year, and every sale is invariably 
certain to make another in the same town or vicinity ; this we 
deem a thorough proof of the excellence of our Bells. 

Our Establishment is unrivalled in its facilities, and 
the number of Bells we make annually — which we stand ready 
to demonstrate — exceeds that of any other Bell Foundry in the 
country . 

Our facilities and advantages enable us to sell Bells at very 
close figures, and we accordingly offer them at lowest price at 
which we can sell first-class fullv warranted work, and 
upon most liberal conditions. 

Medals and awards for merit and excellence of workmanship 
and quality of material are undoubtedly a worthy criterion in 
forming your judgment, although some people denounce them 
mostly because they received few or none for their work. We 
have a large number of Medals and Awards, made and presented 



to us by thoroughly competent and disinterested judges after 
carefully comparing our Bells with those from other Foundries, 
and they are such as afford us much pleasure, and to which we 
refer with pardonable pride. 

All communications addressed to us as below, will receive 
prompt and careful attention.

P. S. We have had these catalogues printed as an " emer- 
gency ' ' pending the publishing of our new finely illustrated 
book, which will be ready in about three months. If in the 
meantime you do not decide the matter write us and we shall be 
pleased to send you a copy. 




CHURCH BELLS. 




CHURCH BELLS. 



All our Bells are made of New> Superior Ingot Copper and the 
Best Imported Block Tin — we make no other. And they possess 
all the qualities necessary to a good Bell, viz.: depth and rich- 
ness of tone, prolongation of sound, durability, and workman- 
ship. Every Bell is severely tested by ringing before leaving 
the foundry. 

Ranging in weight from 1400 lbs. to 10,000 lbs., hung with 
McShane's Improved Rotary Yoke, which permits the Bell to be 
turned in the yoke at pleasure, so as to prevent the liability to 
break, a detached arm which secures ease in ringing, steel 
springs which hold the clapper from the Bell after it has been 
struck, and prolong and improve the sound, wooden frame and 
iron stands or uprights for supporting the Bell, wheel, tolling 
hammer, fitted in a clevis ; all constituting the most complete, 
perfect and convenient fixtures for using the Bell under all cir- 
cumstances yet devised. See illustrations. 

Purchasers should always leave the tone to the Founder, 
because the range of tone variation is very limited, owing to the 
fact of the unvarying composition of Bell-metal and the shape 
of Bells. 

Bells of the same size invariably have the same ' ' key ' ' or 
tone note ; what variation there may be is within a quarter tone 
one way or the other, depending upon the pressure exerted in 
sweeping ' ' up the mould. 

If a particular tone is wanted, then the only way to get it is 
.to order a Bell of the size that invariably sounds that tone. See 
sizes and tones, page 8. Churches and others should not try to 
imitate some familiar Bell, except by selecting a Bell of same 
size or weight, as a bell of 1000 lbs. cannot be made to produce 
the same note as a 700 lb. Bell and vice versa. The same rule 
holds good in all similar circumstances as regards Bells. 

The weight named in the following table indicates the 
pattern used in making that size Bell, but the Bell so made invar- 
iably weighs from two to three per cent, more than the pattern. 

Larger size Bells made to order.

COPY OF OUR GUARANTEE. 

Attached to each Invoice for Bells of 100 pounds or over. 



The above mentioned Bell is warranted to be of the best 
workmanship throughout, composed exclusively of Best Grade 
Superior New Ingot Copper and Imported East India 
Beock Tin, to be of good, clear tone, satisfactory to purchaser 
and not to crack by regular usage within TEN (10) YEARS 
from this date. Should it so crack within time specified and 
immediate notice be given us, we will give a new one of same 
size, quality and tone in free exchange for cracked one, the 
purchaser only to pay the freight charges on cracked Bell 
and new Bell in exchange." 



McSHANE'S 

Rotary Yoke and Spring Clapper* 

THE SIMPLEST AND BEST EVER USED. 




The great advantages arising from this invention and appli- 
ance are very obvious, as will appear by a little explanation. In 
the old method of hanging Bells, the clapper struck constantly 
in two places, on opposite sides of the bell, and in a direct line, 
so as eventually to cut into it, which result is only a question of 
time ; whereas, by the use of the above yoke a man can change 
the blow of the clapper to any other point on the circumference 
of the Bell as often as desired leaving the Bell hung in the most 
perfect order, thus materially lessening the risk of breaking and 
increase the durability of the Bell beyond measure. 

Bells of 100 pounds weight and upwards have springs attach- 
ed to them, (see above illustration) to prevent the clapper from 
resting on the bell after the blow has been given. An exceed- 
ingly disagreeable, jarring sound is thus avaided, and the bell is 
enabled to give out a tone, full and clear. The noise, which the 
action of the clapper upon the bare spring would produce, is 
obviated by the use of leathers rivited upon the end of its arms. 
In case either arm of the spring at any time bends so near to 
the bell as not to prevent the rebound of the clapper, it can be 
forced a little Jnrther out by inserting a bar between it and the 
side of the bell. 



10 



McSHANES 

Improved Friction Rollers and Tolling Hammer. 




Attached to all large Bells of 
1,400 lbs. and over, to lessen the 
labor of ringing (see illustration). 
These rollers are far superior to 
those used by any other manufac- 
turer. Those used by others are 
composed of two rollers, with the 
journal of the yoke on the top. In 
a very short time the journals cut 
into the two rollers and become 
wedged between them, the rollers fail to revolve and the Bell 
rings harder than without the rollers. It will be seen by the 
illustrations that our friction rollers are all around the journal 
and as the Bell is swung they revolve around the journal. Any 
mechanic will inform you that the McShane Rollers are the best. 
We furnish a Tolling Hammer, fitted in a clevis attached to 
Iron Stand, as is shown in cut, with all Bells of 300 lbs. and 
upwards, and is a very desirable means of tolling a Bell at 
funerals ; also for Fire Alarm purpose when desired. The Toll- 
ing Hammer should never be used while the Bell is being rung, 
but should be left at rest and the rope hung aside securely, so 
that no one can thoughtlessly pull it, as the consequence would 
be the probable breaking off of the Tolling Hammer or even 
throwing the Bell off its mountings.

FIRE ALARM BELLS. 





15 



Fire Alarm Bells* 



Our Fire Bells are the best in the world. They are con- 
structed so as to produce a different tone from the Bells we sell 
for Church purposes. We make these of any desired weight from 
100 lbs. to 10,000. The foregoing cut will give you an idea as to 
how Bells for this purpose are usually arranged, especially where 
they are to be used in connection with either an automatic or 
electric striker ; and in smaller towns and on occasions where 
the alarm is struck by hand, the Bells are suspended stationary 
as said cut, and struck by the clapper to which a rope is attached ; 
or by means of a tolling striker. (See the lower cut.) 

Again, when the Bells are to be swung so as to arouse the 
Fire Company, we usually furnish them with the regular Church 
Bell Mountings, and in that case the Alarm can be struck by use 
of the tolling-hammer. 

In the larger Cities, a very large Bell is usually erected either 
in the City Hall, or Court House, and small Bells in each of the 
Engine Houses ; in villages and moderate size towns there is 
usually but one Bell, and the weight of that depends upon the 
size and population of the town. 



Court House and Clock Bells* 



These Bells are usually patterned on the same lines as our 
Fire Bells, and erected in the same manner, except in cases of 
Clock Chimes, and they are arranged in a frame similar to our 
regular Church Chimes, and in accordance with the shape and 
size of the tower. We make these Bells of any weight and in 
any combination of tones. Further information on this subject 
will be freely given upon application. 



16 



DIRECTIONS FOR RAISING, RINGING, &c. 




Whenever it can possibly 
be done, towers should be so 
constructed that the Bell can 
be hoisted to the Belfry 
through the inside through 
traps of proper size ; if Belfry 
has not been so arranged, 
then the Bell may be raised 
on the outside, in the man- 
ner shown in illustration. 
First, project at an elevated 
angle a suitable piece of tim- 
ber with a tackle attached to 
the end, securely fastening 
timber so that it cannot move 
or be drawn out of position 
in the hoisting. If it cannot 
be readily drawn up by pass- 
ing the rope down through 
the tower, then run the rope 
straight down from the tackle 
to a properly fastened ' 'snatch 
block' ' then if it be a heavy 
Bell it can readily be drawn 
up by one or two horses. It 
is not well to use horses, 
though, unless sufficient pow- 
er cannot otherwise be ap- 
plied In case of very heavy 
Bells, a "capstan" or a 
windlass ' ' will be found 
the best substitute for any 
team of horses. The frame 
and wheel should always 
be taken up first ; the 
frame properly placed on 
a firm level bearing ; the 
wheel also be made readv 



17 



to attach. Then when the Bell is drawn up into the Belfry, the 
wheel can be attached, and Bell lowered into place in the frame. 
If necessary, the iron stands may be taken off the wood 
frame and taken up separately. Should it be impracticable to 
set Bell in the frame at once, when hoisted, it may, if a new 
purchase with the tackle cannot be conveniently rigged, be 
raised from Bell Room floor by levers and blocking, care being 
taken not to break out its edges in using iron bars. In bolting 
on the wheel to the yoke, place it so that the bolt holes corres- 
pond to each other 
and also place the 
wheel upon the 
opposite side of 
the frame to that 
to which the toll- 
ing hammer is at- 
tached. 

After the Bell 
is mounted, brace 
the stands firmly 
side wise, either to 
the floor or the 
sides of the tower, 
so as to prevent 
their becoming 
broken by any 
accidental side 
strain, the Bell 

AND ITS MOUNT- 
INGS SHOULD BE 
EXAMINED FROM 
TIME TO TIME to 
see if the several 
nuts are properly 
screwed up , and 
the other parts are in order ; and oil should be placed upon the 
bearings as often as required, but not in sufficient quantity to 
allow of its dripping and accumulating upon the Bell, to the 
consequent injury of its tone. 

When putting in the clapper, see that it be put in as we 




18 

mark it, so that it fits as originally adjusted, and see that the 
pin which goes through the clapper be properly oiled to allow it 
to swing freely ; also see that the key be well put into the pin 
and the open ends be well spread open, so that it cannot come 
out. 

The rope may be attached, as shown in illustration. In case 
of Bells up to 1500 pounds, the rope should be attached as at 
A, and run around the wheel and down through the sheaves or 
rollers directly under the centre of the wheel. In this way, 
even if by some enthusiastic ringer, the Bell should be over- 
turned, it will not matter, because the rope running up the other 
side will still remain in working order. In the case of Bells 
over 1500 pounds weight, there is not much danger of the Bell 
being overturned, hence the rope is attached at B and around 
over the top of wheel, then directly down to the ringer. The 
use of a stop is more injurious than beneficial, because if Bell be 
heavily pulled, as it is more or less likely to be, then it strikes 
the stop with a vigorous thump, causing a greater jar to the 
tower than any vigorous ringing of the Bell will otherwise pro- 
duce, besides very forcibly injuring the mountings. 

The ropes for ringing Bells should be no thicker than neces- 
sary to secure sufficient strength and yet remain pliable and 
comfortable to grasp in the hand, hence the proper size rope for 
ringing Bells is as follows : 

For tolling Hammer, the rope should be from three-eighths 
to one-half inch thick, according to weight.

19 



HOW FAR CAN BELLS BE HEARD? 



No positive rule will serve to give reliable information on 
this question. Two-thirds of the efficiency of a Bell depends en- 
tirely on the proper arrangement of the Tower and Belfry. The 
only rule we can give is that by which the Belfry and Tower 
should be arranged. That is the Tower should be conveniently 
' 'roomy," but not too large. One foot (each side) space between 
Bell frame and Belfry wall or inner side is a plenty of room, and 
it should not be larger. For Bells under 1,000 lbs. in weight 
the Belfry should not be more than from 5 to 6% feet square by 
from 5/^2 to 6% feet from Bell deck or floor to ceiling. The 
Tower should be high enough to bring the Belfry or Bell room 
several feet above any other portion of the church building. 

This rule is a very good one for all churches and other 
towers under ordinary conditions, except in closely built cities 
where the towers must be built higher to accomplish the object 
for which Bells are put in them. 

Bell rooms for Chimes or Peals of Bells should be especially 
constructed and arranged, and we cheerfully supply any needed 
information on this subject upon application. All Bell rooms 
should have a tight closed floor, and a tightly closed ceiling. 
The side openings or windows should always reach clear from 
floor to ceiling, and be well opened so that the sound may have 
full and free egress. To illustrate the question, the following 
from the " Scientific American " of November 8, 1879 — is a very 
good explanation. 

H. B. H. asks — "What size and what weight should a Bell 
be to be heard at three miles distance, or say in radius, counting 
on the wind ? The height at which the Bell will be situated will 
be about 45 feet from the ground. The city has a radius of three 
miles from the tower where the Bell will be located. Also taking 
into consideration that the mean temperature is from 84° to 
92° Fan. 



20 

Answer — "It is impossible for us to give any information on this sub- 
ject that would be reliable. In fully half of the cases it depends upon the 
formation of the land surrounding the building in which the Bell is to be 
placed. In a hilly locality, a Bell will not be heard half as far as if the 
land were level or nearly so. A Bell will be heard a great deal farther 
lengthways of a valley than over the hills at the sides. It is frequently 
the case too, that towers have small windows, or openings, with the lower 
boards so close together as to almost box up the sound. In cities, the 
noise of steam and horse cars, manufacturing establishments, carriages 
and carts rattling over pavements, etc., is so great, that Bells are not ex- 
pected to be heard at any considerable distance, and this is the reason 
why, in all cities several Bells are used for fire alarm purposes, it being 
impossible for one Bell, no matter how large it may be, to be heard above 
the thousand and one noises incident to every large place. The largest 
Bell ever made in this country weighed 22,000 pounds and before it was 
fractured, hung on the City Hall, in New York. One one or two occasions 
this Bell was heard up the Hudson River thirteen miles, in the night, 
when the city was comparatively quiet. Water is a good conductor of 
sound and aided materially in making the Bell heard as above mentioned. 
It is a great mistake to suppose that Bells can be heard in proportion to 
their weight ; that is, that a Bell of 2,000 pounds will be heard twice as far 
as one of 1,000. This is not so, for the reason that the larger Bell does not 
possess anything like twice the resonant surface of the smaller one. 
What is gained and admired in the larger Bell is its deep, majestic, dig- 
nified tone, which is impossible to secure in the smaller one, the weight of 
a Bell invariably governing its tone. A Bell of 100 or 200 pounds in an 
open belfry on a school house or factory in the country, is frequently heard 
at a long distance, out of all proportion, apparently, to one of 1,000 pounds 
in a church tower, near by ; and instances of this kind frequently cause no 
little comment in the way of comparison. The reason for this is, that the 
small Bell has a sharp, shrill, penetrating sound, that must, of necessity, 
be heard a great deal farther in proportion to its weight than the low, 
mellow, 'church going' sound of the Church Bell. The same principle ap- 
plies to the whistle of a locomotive, and it is heard a long distance simply 
because its tone is shrill and penetrating. When hung stationary and 
struck or tolled, Bells will not be heard, as a rule, half as far as when 
swung. The swinging motion throws the mouth of the Bell up, and not 
only carries the sound off, but imparts to it a richness that is always ab- 
sent when the Bell is at rest and struck. A great deal is to be gained by 
ringing a Bell properly, throwing the mouth well up, and not lazily jing- 
ling it. It is not physical strength that is required in ringing a Bell so 
much as 'getting the knack' of catching the rope just right, particularly on 
the second 'pull down.' The windows in the tower should be as open as 
possible, and the tower should be ceiled just above the windows." 

A good deal also depends upon the ringer, as he should not 
lazily jingle the Bell, but swing the mouth well up, and it re- 
quires some patient practice before the art of ringing a Bell 



21 

properly is acquired. Actual physical strength does not play as 
great part in it as getting the right knack of making each down- 
pull at the right instant. In other words, the ringer must become 
familiar with the exact sweep of the rope which his Bell makes 
before he can ring the Bell regularly and evenly so that it sends 
forth its full rich sound. Whoever the ringer may be he should 
do all the ringing, especially in the case of a new Bell, so as to 
quickly get accustomed to it. 

Another evil with parties is ' 'jumping at conchisio?is . ' ' Some- 
times parties complain that they ' 'can't hear the Bell far enough ; 
sounds as though it lacked power and volume, although the tone 
is good and pleasant, and very much liked." The trouble in 
such cases, nine times out of ten, is that there is no ceiling, and 
windows not properly opened. In the other the Bell is put three 
or four feet below the windows, and a large trap beneath the Bell 
left open, &c. , &c. Everything should be properly arranged first 
before the Bell is tried, as in almost every case, after the neces- 
sary improvements are made, the result is a wonderful change in 
the volume of sound of the Bell. The first impression lasts the 
longest, hence any trial of a Bell without first making every 
proper arrangement for its successful working is likely to cause a 
bad impression, which is extremely difficult to overcome, because 
so many people seem to think that suggestions to re-arrange the 
Belfry are merely made to draw attention away from the Bell. 
Hence all care should be taken with the Belfry before the Bell is 
put in, and full and proper arrangements made. Much more 
might be said on this very important subject, but we deem the 
foregoing sufficient to enable purchasers to locate the greatest 
part of the trouble when a Bell does not appear to sound ' ' loud 
enough.' '

Chimes and Peals* 



Many persons use these words interchangeably as though 
there were no difference. In England and throughout Great 
Britain the word ' ' Peal ' ' is used for almost any number of Bells 
in a set. It is the result of the custom of simply striking changes 
on the Bells in the old English style, where it required a ringer 
to each Bell, who was for the time being known and addressed 
only by the note his Bell represented. That was called "pealing 
the bells." 

In this country any set of five or more Bells is called a 
"chime," although strictly speaking a chime consists of eight or 
more Bells. The number of Bells is only limited by the decrease 
in weight and consequent shrillness of tone compared with the 
large Bells. Thus, a chime is generally said to consist of eight 
Bells, attuned to the eight notes of the octave, or diatonic scales.

In almost all cases, one or two Bells are added so as to 
increase the usefulness of the chime. The two added are a fiat 
seventh, and one above the octave, thus making the set consist of 
ten Bells. 

The increase of the cost is not so much, while the usefulness 
of the set is wonderfully enhanced. The number may be in- 
creased indefinitely, but it is not well to go beyond the realm 
of pleasing sounds, as the Bells then are so small as to sound 
shrill and piping beside the large ones of the set. 

When a Chime of exceptional completeness is desired, the 
number of Bells may be increased to twelve or fifteen Bells ; by 
inserting a sharp fourth and adding another above the scale or set 



23 

of ten, the number is twelve. To make it fifteen, a sharp eighth 
is inserted, and two more above the twelve are added, thus mak- 
ing a set of Bells that is fully equal to meet almost every reason- 
able desire and upon which music of a very high order can be 
rendered with utmost satisfaction and excellence. To secure a 
Chime of twelve or more Bells necessitates Bells of slightly 
heavier weight than those usually considered as ordinary weight, 
else the upper notes are too shrill in comparison with the larger 
ones of the set, and are in that case to all appearances, of a dif- 
ferent grade of sound. The want of such a system is painfully 
apparent in many existing rings, in unequally weighted rings, 
some of the Bells being much more powerful than others, and the 
quality of their tones very different, the weaker ones can scarcely 
be distinguished and the effect of the whole when rung is far from 
melodious and pleasing. We are always pleased to give every 
desired information to those contemplating the purchase of a 
Chime of Bells, and therefore cordially invite correspondence on 
the subject. 

The usual way of mounting our Chimes is to provide the 
largest Bell with full mountings, (as in regular single Church 
Bells), placed on the top of the Chime frame. In this way you 
can ring it apart from the Chime for special services, if desired. 
See illustration, page 24. 

The remaining Bells are suspended in the wooden frame, 
stationary, and the frame work arranged especially to suit the 
tower in which they are to be placed. The Bell-room of towers 
for Chimes should always be as elevated as possible and thorough- 
ly well arranged. The windows large and well open, reaching 
clear from floor to ceiling. 

Our lever-ringing chiming stand is beyond doubt the hand- 
somest and best adapted instrument of its kind in existence, and 
enables the chimer to perform any music within the range of the 
Bells in a manner, securing the best results and most satisfactory 
effect. 

Our method of connecting the levers with the clappers is also 
a most perfect one, as it secures a most excellent elastic^ of 
touch and effect, and enables the chimer to bring out pp as 
pleasing and satisfactory as fff, thus securing musical execution 
unequalled by any other method. To ring or play a chime of 
Bells does not require the services of a professional musician

absolutely as any gentleman of ordinary musical ability can with 
comparatively little careful practice, soon acquire a very skillful 
performance. 

Of course, where a skillful or professional musician can be 
had as readily as any other, a better rendition of the music is 
secured, and less trouble is experienced in attaining competency 
in the ringer. 

Now, a Peal is simply a chord usually representing the 1st, 
3d and 5th tones of a given key, and when the Bells are very 
heavy the 8th note is added ; the effect of the Peal is very pretty. 
Of course tunes cannot be played on them, but the changes, and 
the different tones following one after the other, is very effective. 
The Bells are usually arranged with complete mountings, as 
regular Church Bells. There are also Peals known as "West- 
minster Peals' ' ; these are also four in number, and take the lower 
note in a specified key, or the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th tones. 
These Bells are usually arranged with a tower clock, and the 
changes struck are known as the "Oxford Changes." 

Sometimes these Peals are arranged with Mountings com- 
plete for the large Bell only, and the other three suspended 
stationary in a frame specially constructed ; then the changes are 
struck by means of a lever-playing stand, as a regular Chime is 
played. Of course tunes cannot be played on such Bells, since 
there must be at least eight Bells for that purpose. 

Parties purchasing a Bell who contemplate adding later on 
one or more Bells, would do well to so specify in the order, so 
that we may keep a record of the first Bell and be in position to 
afterwards add any number of Bells in tune with the first one. 

As Bell sound is not like tune- fork sounds, threfore tune- 
forks are not always reliable to tune a Bell by. We have a more 
accurate method which cannot produce discord. 

Parties desiring to purchase a Chime or Peal of Bells, should 
give size of Bell Room or Belfry in the clear inside, also the 
height of Belfry from floor to ceiling, and the size of windows 
and their position in relation to the Belfry. Again, the amount 
of money intended to be invested should also be stated, as we can 
then know better what scale of music to offer to meet the want. 
Our manner of grading Bells in Chimes and Peals to be in tone 
and hine is entirely different from that of any other Founders ; 
we furnish Chimes thereby in more perfect harmony without anyi 



27 



aberation of the surface of Bells, thus giving each Bell, its perfect 
tone and chords in itself. This is a serious point in a Chime 
of Bells, and should be fully considered and chosen, even though 
the Chime be more costly for this reason. Two to four months 
is usually required to produce such a Chime of Bells. We will 
be glad to furnish estimates for musical Bells free of charge, to 
churches or parties desiring to procure them, and give any infor- 
mation concerning same.

THE CENTENNNIAL CHIMES 

FROM 

THE McSHANE BELL FOUNDRY. 



Our space will not permit of our giving a full detail of all 
the Chimes and Peals we have made, and will have to content 
ourselves with a full description of "The Centennial" or the first 
Chime of Bells Cast in Maryland. We will not use our own 
words, but those of The Philadelphia Commercial . 

' ' Of the many interesting features at the Centennial Exhibi- 
tion, none did attract more attention or give more real pleasure 
to the great multitude that visited Philadelphia, than the music 
from the Chime of Bells exhibited by the McShane Bell Foundry 
of Baltimore. It was the only Chime in the whole exhibition, 
and was composed of thirteen bells, representing the thirteen 
original States of the Union, and was without exception, the most 
creditable "exhibit from that City." These Bells are all large, 
the smallest weighing about 300 lbs. and the largest upwards of 
4,000 lbs. The thirteen aggregating over 21,000 lbs. They 
comprise a full octave and one-third with a flat seventh and 
a sharp fourth, and possess clearness, richness of tone and great 
volume of sound, and are constructed in the most admirable 
and substantial manner. The Bells were hung in the main 
tower, on the northeast angle of Machinery Hall, near the 
main entrance (Belmont Avenue) to the exhibition grounds. 
This was the first Chime of Bells ever cast in the State of Mary- 
land, and were in charge of a famous Chime ringer, who is a 
thorough musician, and who has achieved a reputation of being 
one of the finest " Chimers" in the world. Under the sway of 
his skillful hand, as soft or high the sweet Chimes did ring out 
the grand and noble " Doxology," and the thrilling notes of the 
"Star Spangled Banner," the soul-stirring strain of "Yankee 
Doodle," echoing through the vales and woodlands, the flora', 
dells and sylvan groves, and re-echo from the hill-tops, and from 



29 

the rocks and umbrageous shores of the placid Schuylkill, causing 
the multitudes assembled in Philadelphia's famous Fairmount 
Park, to pause, stand transfixed and mute, enraptured by the 
"Music of the Bells." 

The Bells were hung in a heavy oaken frame, with the 
largest of the thirteen Bells in the centre and are, by the aid of 
the music rack, attached by ropes and adjustable straps, rendering 
manipulation remarkably easy. The Chime was cast expressly 
for exhibition at the Centennial, at a cost of over $10,000, and 
was one of the most pleasing of the many attractions there, and 
was no doubt the most costl}^ "exhibit" made by any single firm 
in the world, and without exception, are the finest Chime of Bells 
ever cast in this country. On the opening day, May 10th, they 
were rung at sunrise. On that day, at nine o'clock A. M., when 
the representatives of the nations of the earth had gathered 
together, and the officials high in position of our own country 
had met to formally open the exhibition, which after several years 
of arduous labor and anxiety has thus far been crowned with 
success, the Chimes from the McShane Bell Foundry, of Balti- 
more, were the first to proclaim the glad tidings, ringing out in 
clear, resonant tones the joyous news to the world. 

The Bells from this well-known establishment excel in vol- 
ume of sound and richness of tone, and superior workmanship. 
A peculiarity of the Bells of the McShane Bell Foundry is the 
attention given to musical laws in the tone of them ; even the 
largest size, some 15,000 pounds, sounding exactly the note for 
which it was cast. All Bells cast at this foundry are made of 
genuine Bell Metal, composed of L,ake Superior copper and gov- 
ernment banca tin, and are so modelled as to secure that propor- 
tion between the diameter, height and thickness, as shall pro- 
duce the desired acoustic effect in the highest degree. In this 
particular these Bells are unequalled, all their patterns being- 
made from mathematical formula, which the}^ have deducted 
from the results of a long course of study and forty years experi- 
ence, and every Bell made by them is a card of recommendation 
whenever seen, and in each and every instance has given the 
greatest satisfaction to the purchasers. This establishment turns 
out more Bells than any other foundry in the United States, and 
such is their reputation , and the large and growing demand made 
for their Bells, that ere long they will be heard ringing commen- 



30 

dations of the McShane Bell Foundry in every city and town on 
this continent. 

The establishment of Henry McShane & Co. is one of the 
largest and best equipped in the country, and possesses every 
facility for the Production of Bells of every description, such as 
Church Bells, Fire Alarm, Chimes, Court House, Academy and 
Factory Bells, Ship, Steamboat, Plantation and Farm Bells, all of 
which are made in the best manner, and strictly first-class in each 
and every particular. A specialty being made of Chimes and 
Peals of Bells of any number, in perfect tune and accord with 
each other, and arranged to be played by one person upon levers, 
so that any one able to read music can play tunes upon them. 
The fame of this foundry and the reputation of their Bells is 
world-wide. As an evidence of this, it is only necessary to cite 
the fact that this firm has recently shipped one of their celebrat- 
ed Bells to Foo-Chow, China. The members of the firm are 
Henry and John McShane, who are thorough practical business 
men understanding the art of Bell making in every detail, and 
the costly Chime of musical Bells which they have placed in the 
great tower of Machinery Hall is an evidence of the interest they 
have taken in the ' 'Centennial." The Chimes ring out morning, 
noon and evening over the hum of the busy crowds." — Philadel- 
phia Commercial .
